Change happens all the time. Change is difficult yet it is a necessary process for each and every one of us to experience in order that we may progress in our Life’s journey. However, for most, change is difficult to accept as they have been conditioned to believe that change triggers instability in their life, and at best to be avoided. So, in order to cling to permanence and to maintain control, the general reaction is to resist and point finger.

John F. Kennedy said “Change is the Law of Life” and it is not a bad thing. It is our thinking that makes it so. We must change our mindset to believe that every change we are experiencing in our life will lead to something good. Therefore, get out of your own way now!

Lesson #2 ~ Accept Change, Accept Responsibility!

Change may be anticipated or it may be unpredictable. But when change happens, it is unavoidable. Regardless the change is good or bad, resisting can only impede us from moving forward. Before we can accept change, we must accept the responsibility that the change we are experiencing is the consequence of our own thoughts and actions through our interactions with the outside world. By accepting responsibility, we will regain control to create the best solution to survive the situation.

View change as an opportunity to progress and channel our energy to take charge of the direction we want to head brought on by the change. Be flexible and make the best of the situation. Allow ourselves the appropriate time to deal with every stage of the change and we will emerge from the experience stronger, wiser and more confident than we were before.

Resisting change is not the answer. We have the power to turn every change to our advantage. Let it be a positive force in our life. Let’s take control of our life now!

A Tip: Ask yourself what are the positive possibilities you believe you can expect from this change. Examining the change in the positive light will help you embrace change successfully.
